A Youth's View From The Right

Why I'm Back Blogging

To tell you the truth, I was completely politically burnt out.

But over spring break, during a long car ride, I read "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)" by Ann Coulter. That got me motivated to revive this blog, but I took no action. Tonight, I ran across an article on Ann Coulter's web page and it inspired me to start blogging again.

Read this excerpt from the article, it'll be worth your while:

"In short order, Smith was reading aloud to Nichols from the Christian book "The Purpose Driven Life" — in direct violation of his constitutional right to never hear any reference to God, in public or private, for any purpose, ever, ever, ever! For more on this right, go to the "People for the American Way" Web site.

After reading the first paragraph of Chapter 33 aloud, about serving God by serving others, Nichols — the man pundits were calling an "animal" — asked her to read it again.

Nichols listened to the passage again and responded by telling Smith he was already dead, saying, "Look at my eyes." But Smith looked and told him God had a purpose for him, perhaps to minister to other lost souls in prison. Smith read to Nichols some more, both from the "Purpose" book and from another popular book that's been dropped from all news accounts of this incident: the New Testament. (In the Hollywood version, Smith will be reading from the Quran.)

Smith knew all about Nichols' violent depredations from TV. Yet she saw him not as a monster, but as one of God's creatures. Most Christians — most people — have trouble seeing the humanity of people who take our parking spots. Smith could see God's hand in a multiple murderer holding her hostage. By showing him genuine Christian love, Smith turned Nichols from a beast to a brother in Christ. This phenomenon, utterly unknown to liberals, is what's known as a "miracle." Top that, Paul Krugman!"

In the end, he is so moved that he surrendered peacefully to the police. That is what inspired me to start posting again. I realized words can have an affect on someone, and I hope in this new birth of A Youth's View From The Right, I can affect some of you.

Fighting (and writing) for truth, justice, and the capitalistic way
